I'd been on another busy shift, forgot the insulin again and decided to wait till I got home. Though I could have something to eat after a bolus, and do the basal later in the evening. I fell asleep sitting on the lounge and woke up 6 hours later drenched in sweat and feeling very poorly. Took...

And the word for today is DIATRIBE. 'A related group of diabetics'.

To all those who wished me well in my recent illness...my apologies for the lapse in due care of my illness. It was a stupid and careless act that put me in danger and caused undue discord among those who care for me. I have had time to reflect and access my actions over the last two weeks - I...

Drowsy, confused and weak. A friend is taking me to outpatients. Let you know what happens.

I wandered away for a time. So much soul searching and intraspection. But I am back. It feels good.

I 've managed to drive myself head into the ground again. Could be laid up for days. Sick, dehydrated and seriously depleted, why? Because everyone else doesn't feel like putting an effort in. So who does.....?

I am diabetic, I am frequently ill and lack energy - BUT..... I do not surrender to this condition. I lead the charge, I am the rallying point and I am not about to fall. I have just completed a particularly stressfull shift - but I gave my all. Tonight....I won respect for every diabetic on...

I am so ill and exhausted, making great strides on the job but feeling like all I want is to melt into the Earth and exist no more.

I have truly reached the bottom of the barrel, but I am not defeated. Defeat is death, and I am not dead. This is the place of evolution. I came here to evolve. Be patient with me...I chose a hard path, I knew what was expected of me. Yet....sometimes reality can be a cruel master! But I can't...

I send an image of my foot to my family to show what is happening to me at this time and I am simply told they don't want to see these gruesome images!!! Thanks! I am isolated from the rest of the family living in Canberra, no one else is here to help me through these moments.....and they DON'T...

We are short staffed and I am shifting roster frequently. I am exhausted and my bgl's are all over the spectrum. No sleep and constant activity are taking their toll. I need some time out and soon, this is really becoming a bit scary. Hypos and hypers running back to back. Bgl's ranging from 4.6...

Did you hear about the pig that was gluten intolerant? He had Squealiacs disease! Does that make him prone to Swine flu? If he's Scottish he can't have hoggis, that will make him sow-er! Ham fisted fool! That will be needed to be on his resume which he can keep in his porkfolio.

Lately, I am really in need of sleep - yet it avoids me like the plague. I am working extra hours under heavy demands and this is the cause of my problem. Bgl's.. (don't ask!) are a problem due to the stressed environment, but I am finally moving out of the centre and into calm waters. It is my...

I went hyper on a shift today and it was serious. Short staffed and busy so I wasn't paying attention. An act of a complete jerk led to a full on detination. I blasted the daylights out of 5 people before the situation was resolved. A good friend drew me away from the crew and made me test my...

I joined the forum in November 2016. Already passed 1000 likes and I'm on my way to 1000 messages. To me, this a special kind of achievement. After years of trying to connect with others with little or no progress, I am now reaching for the stars.:);):happy::p

Lord, Hear my prayer. I know I came to this world with an affliction that has no cure. I live with this, I get angry and frustrated. I grate at the ignorance and indifference of those who are not afflicted, and rant at you for putting me in this position. Yet, in my ignorance and anger, I...

After two weeks I am still living with a viral infection that refuses to let go. This is really dragging me down.
